Alfa Romeo - Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT/GTV
The Alfetta saloon range were what the sportier Alfetta GT and Alfetta GTV cars were derived from. These GT's also had the rear transaxle and clutch arrangement, starting in 1974. All were 2 door 4 seater type designed by Guigaro at Bertone, and followed in exactly the same order of capacity changes as the Alfetta saloons. This made the order the 1800cc Allfetta GT and in 1976 the Alfetta GT1.6 , Alfetta GT2000 which became in 1979 the Alfetta 2000L. In 1980 there was a restyling and the 1.6 litre version no longer available. The car was now simply Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0, and the same year the GTV 6 2.5 with the V6 engine (from the Alfa 116 saloon) now with fuel injection, which was very well received.
Tyre size for the Alfetta GT and GTV in period was the 165R14 size with the larger engined cars having the wider 185/70R14 sizes. Blockley produces a period correct steel belted high quality and high speed rated 165HR14 as well as the wider 185/70VR14 - see full details of either of these tyrs at the links below.
